Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Orange_Vol1321]

most people don't realize that the CDC and WHO and others' BIGGEST concern is the Ebola outbreaks in Congo and other parts of Central Africa, they have been tracking those new strains for a year, and they worry the scientists and infection preventionists more than Corona.

I understand what you're saying but those susceptible to Ebola don't fly all over the world and especially5 million leave after it hits.

So when did we jump from 15 to 34? Because of who we brought back to the states?

Wont kill viruses, just bacteria. AFAIK.

seriously people, you don't have to freak out about this...we are not even close to having to be worried about it

True. But some people freak out way too easily.

True. But some people freak out way too easily.

The 24/7 news likes it. We will have it repeated in an endless loop so we will be in full blown panic by the time it's really here.

Not true. 60%+ alcohol works great vs almost all viruses. Many hospitals have gone almost-exclusively to hand sanitizer.

Well thank you for the correction. I figured they would call it disinfectant rather than sanitizer, but good to know. I always keep a bottle in my car.

Apparently yes. If you scroll down some it says that.

Same if a bioweapon?

Sorry, didn't have time to read your previous link.

Edit: As long as it wasn't human to human transmission I'm good with that.

If this thing is airborne, will any amount of hand-washing make much of a difference if you come into contact with someone who has the virus?

We don't hear about Ebola on the mews though do we? Ebola has been active in the Congo for a while. Hot zones are teaming over there.

Hand washing matters because of surface contact. Tbh i haven't kept up on whether or not they have figures on how long corona lives on surfaces, what kills it.

The good sanitizer with lots of alcohol does well for quick cleaning jobs on the car windows, too. Small amounts of hand lotion help with windshield suction mounts. A couple of little things I picked up while on the road and needed a quick fix with what I had on hand. Keep a few microfiber towels in the car, too.

True, unless your are dealing with norovirus. Alcohol based hand sanitizer will NOT kill norovirus.
